How does Ultrapulse skin resurfacing work?
The UltraPulse Encore is a CO2 laser used for both light and deep laser treatments designed specifically for skin resurfacing. The laser works by emitting “ultrapulses” of light that are easily absorbed by the water in the skin. This process essentially vaporizes lines, wrinkles, scars, dark spots and other irregularities, layer by layer. Over time it also stimulates the formation of new collagen to give the skin better elasticity and support resulting in more radiant and youthful looking skin.
The UltraPulse Encore is a CO2 laser designed to offer the versatility of both deep and light – minimal downtime, skin resurfacing. The wavelength of light emitted by a CO2 laser is very well absorbed by water in the skin. “Ultrapulses” of the laser vaporize lines, wrinkles, scars, dark spots and other irregularities, layer by layer. This process also stimulates the formation over time of new, underlying collagen to provide better elasticity and support for the skin. With upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the CO2 laser removes loose skin, and if present, fat pads. On the lower lid, fat pads are removed with no visible incision and no stitches. Because the laser beam seals blood vessels as it touches them, the physician can clearly judge how much tissue to remove, and there is less swelling and bruising than with traditional eyelifts.
